Arrow, London, 1990, 3^rd pr.  ISBN 0-09-968300-8.  MMPB, 978+ pages.  Very good; light edge and cover wear, corner creases, no discernible reading creases.  Binding tight; pages lightly tanning.  ‘The ruthless war waged against the Stone has almost been won by the disciples of the Word – only wild Siabod and mysterious Beechenhill still hold out, and everywhere the followers of the Stone go in peril of their lives.  Yet in the shadows of Duncton Wood a new light is shining.  For the Stone Mole has come, to revive the moles’ faith in themselves and in the ancient power of the Stone to defeat and deny the evil Word.  But it is a task that will demand a greater sacrifice than any mole has yet had to face…’ (from rear wrap)
